Benghazi - and CIA

The Obama Administration says that everything is out in the open and "what does it matter" anyway. However, there is still the matter of CIA employees who have yet to testify before Congress after all this time. What's going on with that?

(Washington Free Beacon) A CIA employee who refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement barring him from discussing the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, has been suspended as a result and forced to hire legal counsel, according to a top House lawmaker.

Rep. Frank Wolf (R., Va.) revealed at an event on Monday that his office was anonymously informed about the CIA employee, who is purportedly facing an internal backlash after refusing to sign a legal document barring him from publicly or privately discussing events surrounding the Benghazi attack.

CIA responds (see article cited above)

The CIA declined to comment directly on Wolf’s charges, but forwarded theWashington Free Beacon a letter sent to Congress from CIA Director John Brennan in which he denies charges that the agency has forced employees to sign NDAs and submit to polygraph tests.

As anyone who has had anything to do with CIA understands clearly, they polygraph the heck out of you. Director Brennan is an Obama Administration confidant of some long standing and one can expect that he will be 'onboard with the program'.

USGOV has classified every little sordid detail that has to do with the Benghazi Scandal to the point where nobody can tell what happened --- unless they want to spend the rest of their lives in prison. The Obama Administration and the Democratic Party have a lot to lose if it all becomes public. Hillary Clinton, heir apparent to the Democratic Presidential chair, can't become Leader of the Free World if it all leaks. There is a reason why she and the Obama Administration went to such great lengths to cover it up.

Secretary of State John Kerry has informed Congress he “will not honor the request to make Benghazi survivors available for questioning,” CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson reports.

Republicans in the House Oversight Committee reportedly plan to issue subpoenas if Kerry does not reverse his decision and provide congressional investigators access to Benghazi survivors.

Am I the only one who finds it curious that Congress DID NOT put Secretary Clinton under oath before she testified "what does it matter" before the committee investigating the Benghazi Scandal? Hillary is no fool. She doesn't want to face perjury charges the way that her husband, Bill, did when he said, "I never had sexual relations with that woman." There is a metaphorical blue dress out there with Hillary's name on it.

As of January 1, 2017 this blog began to receive anonymous posts. I try not to delete them, but if you want to be taken seriously here, you need to identify yourself, if only by some sort of cryptonym.

Welcome to Virtual Mirage

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad."

"How do you know I'm mad," asked Alice?

"You must be," said the cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Good Morning

Virtual Mirage - What's on the other side of the mirror? Ask Alice how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

This blog is an extension of MY JOURNEY because sometimes my journey needs more explanation, and sometimes there is more to be said than can be expressed on one ordinary blog.

Sometimes it's politics (very serious), sometimes I address the human condition with a dose of humor, and other times it may seem as if the track is headed in a unique direction. I can be a complicated guy at times.

There are a few things you'll find I consider:

* Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

* Sometimes the questions are complex but the answers are simple.

* Love is the only condition where the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

* Steers do not sign treaties with meat packers. (think on that)

* Taxes are NEVER levied for the benefit of the taxed.

* The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no victory possible in defense.

About Me

Today, I balance work and play as much as anyone can. All things remaining equal, play is more important. Life is short - it's important to make every day count for something, if only to yourself.
I'm a former tinker/tailor/soldier/sailor who has now decided that maybe it really wasn't all done for nothing.
